INFOGRAPHIC 24.4 FOSSIL FUELS ARE NONRENEWABLE
Most of the natural resources we use to supply our energy needs are nonrenewable. Coal, oil, and natural gas are fossil fuels that take millions of years to form as organic material is compressed by layers of sedimentary rock. While plentiful today and relatively cheap to obtain, fossil fuels come with significant environmental and human costs.
